He was a student at Merchiston Preparatory School and Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg, where he became a prolific front-row rugby player for his age-group\u2019s top teams in his first three years of high school.

On 13 August 2007, Morgan\u2019s brother Eugene Welgemoed\u00a0killed himself, just a few weeks before\u00a0Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces\u00a0was released. As the album was finished, there was no delay to its issue, but the record was dedicated to Eugene and featured a memorial.

<\/span>Shaun Morgan Career<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prior to forming the band Saron Gas, Morgan was a member of a tribute band, covering songs by musicians such as\u00a0Creed\u00a0and\u00a0Tom Petty. In May 1999, the band Saron Gas was created. They were originally a four-piece, but when the singer and guitarist did not turn up to the first practice, the band decided to stay as a three-piece, with Morgan on lead vocals and guitar. Saron Gas enjoyed moderate success before the bass player decided to quit in January 2000, causing Morgan to get in touch with the only other good bass player he knew,\u00a0Dale Stewart. The band released an album later that year, entitled\u00a0Fragile<\/i>.In January 2002, they relocated to the United States to sign with\u00a0Wind-up Records. During this time, the band\u2019s original drummer returned home to South Africa, whilst the two remaining members were left to think of a new band name, at the request of Wind-up. Eventually they settled on Seether, after the\u00a0Veruca Salt song of the same name.\u00a0<\/sup>Around this time, Morgan decided to use his middle name as his last name professionally while performing for Seether because some Americans have a hard time pronouncing \u201cWelgemoed\u201d. Seether went on to release their debut major-label album,\u00a0Disclaimer<\/i>, on 20 August 2002, which was remixed and rereleased as\u00a0Disclaimer II<\/i> with a few additional songs in 2004.Since then, Seether has released six more studio albums:\u00a0Karma and Effect<\/i>\u00a0(2005),\u00a0Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces<\/i>\u00a0(2007),\u00a0Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray<\/i>\u00a0(2011),\u00a0Isolate and Medicate<\/i>\u00a0(2014),\u00a0Poison the Parish<\/i>\u00a0(2017) and\u00a0Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum<\/i>\u00a0(2020). In addition, they released the live CD\/DVD\u00a0One Cold Night<\/i>\u00a0in 2006.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Morgan collaborated with Hall of Fame band\u00a0Lynyrd Skynyrd\u00a0and guitarist\u00a0John 5\u00a0on \u201cSad Song\u201d, a track that appeared on the special edition of Lynyrd Skynyrd\u2019s album\u00a0Last of a Dyin\u2019 Breed<\/i>.^{<\/sup><\/p>\n}
